  1. Local Cures

    If you had ringworm write your name around it and it would spread no farther.
    If you had a burn cut a bit of fur of the cat and put it up close to it it would cure it. This cure is very old.
    If a horse had greasy heels you could cure it with goose grease.
    If you had a sore eye rub it with cold tea
    If you got a sting of a nettle put a dock leaf up to it and it would cure it
